In recent years, many young people have gone overseas to study and live at least temporarily in new countries that maybe quite different to their homeland. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of life satisfaction among Iranian undergraduate students studying at Malaysian private universities. A total of 361undergraduate students were identified as respondents of this study by using Multi-Stage random sampling technique. The results of the study showed that the Iranian undergraduate students were moderately satisfied with their overseas student life. Findings also showed that the results of multiple regression analyses indicated social support emerged as the strongest unique predictor of life satisfaction, followed by academic achievement, and adjustment. Findings revealed that 44.8% of the variability in life satisfaction could be predicted by social support, academic achievement, and adjustment. The results also indicated that social support significantly mediated the effect of loneliness on life satisfaction.

Some studies have shown that many indicators can affect students' life satisfaction. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of life satisfaction among Iranian undergraduate students who are studying in Malaysian private universities. A total of 361 undergraduate students were identified as respondents of this study by using Multi-Stage random sampling technique. Data were collected through a survey technique using self-administered questionnaire. The results of the study showed that the Iranian undergraduate students were moderately satisfied with their life while social support, adjustment, academic achievement, and parent's income were positively related with life satisfaction. Finding also showed that there was a negative correlation between loneliness and life satisfaction. Independent t-test revealed that there was no significant difference in life satisfaction among male and female Iranian undergraduates. Furthermore, the results of the multiple regression analyses indicated social support emerged as the strongest unique predictor of life satisfaction, followed by academic achievement, and adjustment. The findings revealed that 44.8% of the variability in life satisfaction could be predicted by social support, academic achievement, and adjustment. The results also indicated that social support significantly mediated the effect of loneliness on life satisfaction.

مسئله‌ای که امروز جامعۀ جهانی و به‌ویژه کشور ما با آن روبه¬رو است، وجود ابزار و فناوری‌های نوظهور است. در این میان تلفن‌های همراه هوشمند در كنار مزاياي بی‌شمار، معايبي نيز دارند كه ناآشنايي كامل با آنها می‌تواند آسیب‌هایی را براي کل جامعه به‌ویژه خانواده‌ها و تغییر سبک زندگی به بار آورد. اين مقاله درصدد است تا برخي از تهديدات و مشکلات موجود در تلفن همراه هوشمند و تأثیر آن بر روابط بین خانواده‌ها و تغییر سبک زندگی‌ها را معرفي و راه¬كارهايي برای مقابله و كاهش آسیب‌ها ارائه کند. براي انجام اين تحقیق - پس از بررسي مباني نظري و ادبيات پیشین - روش تحقیق کیفی برای استخراج و اکتشاف مؤلفه‌های مؤثر در تغییر سبک زندگی به دلیل رشد و توسعۀ تلفن‌های همراه هوشمند انتخاب شد. برای جمع‌آوری اطلاعات از ابزار مشاهده و مصاحبه استفاده شد. بدین منظور از بین دانشجویان سه دانشکده فنی و مهندسی، علوم پایه و علوم انسانی، تعدادی دانشجو به صورت هدفمند انتخاب شد و در نهایت با دوازده نفر مصاحبه صورت گرفت. این مصاحبه‌ها آن‌قدر ادامه پیدا کرد تا محقق به اشباع داده‌ها رسیده، ضرورتی برای ادامۀ مصاحبه‌ها پیدا نکرد. یافته‌های تحقیق بیانگر این مهم است که والدين چندان با فنّاوری‌های جدید آشنايي ندارند و فرزندان آنها نیز اغلب از خطراتي كه در كمين آنهاست، آگاه نيستند. از این رو راهكارهايي برای مقابله و كاهش تهديدات در ابعاد آموزشي و فرهنگي، با توجه به هنجارهاي جامعه ارائه شده است. در اين پژوهش، ضمن برجسته ساختن اهميت نهاد خانواده و جایگاه آموزش، پیشنهاد‌هایی برای آشنايي هرچه بيشتر خانواده‌ها با مزایا و تهديدات و همچنین استفادۀ صحيح از تلفن همراه هوشمند در فضاي مجازي ارائه شده است.

Young people in developing countries are spending more of their adolescence in school than ever before. A number of studies have found that the needs of youth are changing from being a transition to a highly valued period in its own right. In this way, youth life functions require modern development and traditional educational perspective cannot cover their demands. Therefore, youth is engaged in understanding the links between changes and responses with a focus on the relation between social integration and individualization. This paper is a part of a quantitative research that studied the differential affects of youth needs in the process of information age in public and private high schools in Tehran, Iran. The sample was restricted to girls’ adolescents ages 15–18. The findings show that how a new analysis of the relation between youth, modernization and competence can influence the general understanding and educational developmental from youth perspectives when many of them know perfectly well where they are, but their parents, teachers and principals don’t aware about that. The paper ends with a guide for planning and conducting some activities in order to facilitate youth needs in the process of information age.
Key words: Youth, Adolescents, Modern Education, Traditional Education, Information Age

In your opinion, why are there many theories on human development .Choose one of the contemporary theories, which you think, can best explain human development? Discuss you answer with appropriate examples? Part A. Theory: Theory is orderly set of ideas which describe, explain, and predict behavior. It is an analysis of a set of facts and their relationship to one another (A theory explains) also a set of ideas proposed to describe and explain certain phenomena.

First, he assumes that we are born with a species-specific set of biological reflexes that in typical Piagetian fashion, he terms "hereditary organic reactions". These reflexes are biologically programmed behaviors that produce consequences. Second, Piaget assumes that infants are naturally proactive; they spontaneously initiate encounters with the environment. He believed that children "construct" their understanding of the word through their active involvement and interactions. Children learn by doing. He studies his three children to focus not on what they knew but how they knew it. He also, described children's understanding as their "schemas" and how they use: assimilation and accommodation. The internal principles of Piaget's theory areassimilation and accommodation, equilibration, and the functional invariants of organization and adaption. Assimilation is the
